Chapter 1009: He Was Not Convinced
“If it were someone else, they wouldn’t be able to succeed in less than ten years. With my strength, I can forge the Eight Wasteland Blade in three years at most,” said Gongxi Kuangdao confidently, unaware of Ling Chuxi’s disapproval. Today’s forging could be considered to have been beyond his expectations. Based on his past progress, he wouldn’t have been able to refine past the tip of the blade.
“Three years? It takes three years to forge a blade?” Ling Chuxi exclaimed. She started to look at Gongxi Kuangdao worriedly. How long would it take her to refine the Luo Chen Sword? And this was only iron essence. If it was refined gold or mithril instead, how tiring would it be?
“Do you think forging is easy? You haven’t tried it before so you don’t know how difficult it is,”said Gongxi Kuangdao, a little insulted. He had been in such a good mood that his confidence was boosted, only for Ling Chuxi to pour a bucket of cold water on him.
“Yes, Master Gongxi Kuangdao is a legendary forging master of Gongxi clan. If it were anyone else, they might not even be able to refine anything successfully in 20 years, let alone 10 years. Do you think it’s that easy?” said Gongxi Kuangdao’s subordinates disgruntedly. Even they had been in awe when they witnessed Gongxi Kuangdao forging earlier. For him to be looked down upon by Ling Chuxi was something they definitely had to protest against.
Although they had been humbled by the poison in their body, they still had to uphold their pride in their Gongxi clan’s forging techniques.
“Then let me try,” said Ling Chuxi eagerly, not wanting to further argue with them.
“Okay then, you try.” Gongxi Kuangdao handed over the Lava Fire Crystal and Ice Jade Crystal, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction. “Hmph, do you think forging is that easy? If you don’t try it yourself, you won’t know the difficulties.”
Ling Chuxi took the Lava Fire Crystal and Ice Jade Crystal from Gongxi Kuangdao before picking up the blade he had been refined up to 10% earlier.
“Wait, you should use this.” Gongxi Kuangdao quickly grabbed the blade and took out a small piece of iron essence instead before handing the latter to Ling Chuxi. This blade had consumed a lot of his time and energy. He had outperformed himself today to achieve such a result. So, he couldn’t bear to lose it to Ling Chuxi.
Ling Chuxi didn’t care. It was just a test. So things would still be the same for her regardless.
She recalled the secret forging techniques of the Gongxi clan and the cultivation method of circulating True Qi. Ling Chuxi picked up the Lava Fire Crystal and injected her True Qi into it.
Soon, a flame began to flicker in her hand, but it didn’t seem to be as stable as Gongxi Kuangdao’s.
“Hmph, you’ll know how difficult it is soon. You’ll also know how strong my forging skills are.” Gongxi Kuangdao was secretly proud of himself when he saw the flickering flame in her hand. After all, she was just a beginner. No matter how talented Ling Chuxi was, she couldn’t compare to him, who had been immersed in forging for many years.
“This Lava Fire Crystal is much stronger than a normal forging furnace fire after being stimulated by True Qi, so it must be controlled with extreme precision. If the temperature is slightly higher, the iron essence might be destroyed, so there is no point in reshaping it. Increase the temperature bit by bit first, and then forge it when the time is right.” Although he wanted to see Ling Chuxi make a fool of herself, the iron essence was also a rare forging material. Gongxi Kuangdao was afraid Ling Chuxi was going to waste it so he felt the need to advice her.
